    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    Oh, come on. It's not like the club have done anything like that in the past... What's that? Smart card replacement fees? I don't know what you're talking about.

    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    I'm not sure what in the LMA statement indicates they have gone against their own published regulations. It says the regulations allow for the meeting to be postponed within 5 days of the date they set it, and it has (after an adjournment). That doesn't seem to me like they've contravened their...

    Maybe, but this isn't something the club has a lot of experience with, and maybe they just want to cover their backsides.

    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    We don't know if it is unfair or not. But it is no different to the possibly unfair battering Gus has been receiving for the past four weeks.

    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    I think it comes down to what today's meeting was about for the club. If it was a case of starting the meeting, recording that Gus had informed them he would not be attending as his representative was unavailable and he require more time to study the report, so that the entire process is on the...

    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    If he walked without buying out his contract and goes into another job, yes. If he walks, doesn't pay, but doesn't work anywhere else for a long while (and not just because he's waiting until a prem job comes up in the new season) I would be more forgiving, personally. But my point was more...

    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    You mean the employers who appear (from his perspective, perhaps) to be attempting to get rid of him without paying him what they had agreed he'd be entitled to, or worse, trying to squeeze more money from him than they are entitled to? Wouldn't you give two fingered salute to employers like that?

    My stance is simply: we don't know enough to judge Poyet. His post match interview is not anything worthy of disciplinary action IMO, it wasn't when I read about it after the game, and it's not now that all this has also happened, that his career aspirations and budget comments over the past...

    I don't consider answering such a question the way he did "washing their dirty linen in public", and I don't think the club can complain about it now, if they haven't complained about similar comments on budget restrictions and career ambitions in the past.

    You mean, when asked by an interviewer at the end of a season? After a tight game which could have gone our way but for speroni tipping Barnes' shot onto the bar, followed by a goal line clearance, and then a £15m player getting away from a premier league, former international left back for the...

    Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

    "Having a pop" overstates it. If the club expect him to get to the premier league, he has to have a budget to compete, there's only so far you can go getting cheaper players, and poorer players who you improve a bit. If the club have high expectations for him to achieve (that is,premier league...

    Saying you want to make sure the clubs ambition is still in line with yours before committing your future to them is shameful behaviour that warrants a public apology? Give over.
